Will ammonia decompose in the conversion furnace?
Thread Content
If the raw gas contains 500 mg/m3 of ammonia, will a decomposition reaction occur under the high temperature and pressure in the conversion furnace, driven by a nickel catalyst, to break down the ammonia into nitrogen and hydrogen? In this way, ammonia will not enter the subsequent processes.
A series of reactions will occur
In other words, after being treated in the converter, the ammonia undergoes a decomposition reaction, so there will be no ammonia left in the outlet converted gas?
It’s probably nitrogen oxides that are formed as a result of decomposition
